Settings Repository

This page appears in the Settings/Preferences dialog, when the Settings Repository plugin is enabled.

The plugin is bundled with WebStorm and is activated by default.
If it is disabled, you can manually enable the plugin.

Use this page to configure the Settings Repository feature that allows you to

The settings you are going to share must be stored in a Git repository.
